The Offering
On through the burning night The fever and the fear Against the gates of death I pound, I wail, I cry With broken voice and heart I demand a bargaining I offer all I have This blackened soul of mine That once was pure, unspoilt That once was fair Hear me now Open up your hinges Let me enter Receive my soul Let me lapse into the dusk Into soothing shadows Gladly I will step down Redeem the one I love On through the scalding nights The anguish and despair Against the gates of death SongtexteI claw, I wilt, I starve It would be just and fair To let this old man fade away Accept this sacrifice This doomed soul of mine It would only be right To take this soul My offering It would only be fair To let my dearest live Still walk this earth Aus Songtexte Mania
